Dr. Valencia D. Hall, Assistant Principal at Booker T. Washington High School and the High School for the Engineering Professions, was awarded the 2020 Texas Alliance of Black School Educators (TABSE) Assistant Principal of the Year award on February 21, 2020, in San Antonio, Texas at the 35th Annual TABSE State Conference during their Jewels and Jeans Awards Gala.
The Assistant Principal of The Year Award is bestowed upon assistant principals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership skills that have supported their lead principal as well as the students, staff and parents of their campus. Dr. Hall was nominated by her principal, Dr. Carlos R. Phillips, II, for demonstrating the skills necessary to support the campus and all entities involved. Dr. Hall states that this is more than just an honor for her but a testament of the hard work that the students, staff and leadership display daily to be a successful campus. Hall has only been an assistant principal for two years, so achieving this award on the state level solidifies why she knows that being an educator and leader was the best career choice for her.
Dr. Hall leads with a servant heart and passionate mindset which guides her in the support she provides daily on campus. “I wake up each day ready to see the students and get to work on helping them graduate from Booker T. Washington High School as global graduates who know that we have prepared them for their next phase in life,” said Hall.
Dr. Hall is also a Life Member of TABSE and local affiliate member of the Houston Area Alliance of Black School Educators (HAABSE).
